Star Wars fans have been excited about the promise of Grand Admiral Thrawn's return to the "Star Wars" universe in live-action, and thanks to the brand new trailer for "Ahsoka", released today at Star Wars Celebration, we got a glimpse of the blue-skinned Chiss and legendary villain. But there were plenty of other things in that trailer that should excite fans; some of them might be blink-and-you'll-miss-it fast, but are no less important or thrilling than the resurgence of Thrawn. One of the very last shots in the trailer for Ahsoka is that of a very old-fashioned looking droid with a very familiar voice. Eagle-eyed and eared "Star Wars" fans will recognize this droid from the history of the saga, making his live-action debut in a galaxy far, far away.
This is Huyang, a centuries old droid voiced by David Tennant, and he's actually kind of a big deal.

Praise the prophets! "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" is coming back in comic format for a 30th anniversary celebration mini-series that features all of your favorite characters, from Captain Sisko (Avery Brooks) to Morn (Mark Allan Shepherd). Comic publisher Idw announced that they will be releasing a five part comic series called "The Dog of War," launching in April 2023. "The Dog of War" will serve as a "lost episode" set during the events of the beloved 1990s series, following the crew of the space station Deep Space Nine as they contend with their newest resident: a purebred Welsh Corgi named Latinum that Quark (Armin Shimerman) has procured for one of his many smuggling clients. The corgi isn't all that it seems, however, and its presence aboard Deep Space Nine could signal disaster for the entire quadrant.

This will contain spoilers for "Star Wars: Brotherhood."
Mike Chen came onto the scene of "Star Wars" with a short story in the collection "From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back," celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1980 film. His dream project, though, was a prequel era book. And "Star Wars: Brotherhood" was born. "Brotherhood" tells the tale of a throwaway line in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith."
"You owe me," Anakin tells Obi-Wan Kenobi, "and not for saving you skin for the 10th time."
"Ninth time," Obi-Wan responds. "That business on Cato Neimoidia doesn't ... doesn't count."

Let’s face it, things don’t look so good for Obi-Wan Kenobi. The upcoming Disney+ series seems to find the Jedi Master at his lowest point, living in exile after Order 66, hiding from the Grand Inquisitor, and still reeling from his failure with Anakin Skywalker. With increasing reports that the series will show the full horror of the Empire’s rise to power, it’s no wonder that some Star Wars fans are longing for happier times for the future Ben Kenobi.
Fortunately, the new novel Star Wars: Brotherhood returns readers to a slightly longer long time ago, before everything went so wrong for Kenobi. Written by Mike Chen and set shortly after Attack of the Clones, the novel follows Obi-Wan and Anakin’s investigation into terrorist activity on Cato Neimoidia, a hub world in the Trade Federation.

How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu
Type: Novel
Publisher: William Morrow
Release date: Jan. 18
Den of Geek says: Sequoia Nagamatsu’s debut promises to be for 2022 what rereading Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven was for 2020: a speculative plague narrative that may hit too close to home, but that may also be just the catharsis we need as we continue to adjust our lives in a post-covid era.
Publisher’s summary: For fans of Cloud Atlas and Station Eleven, a spellbinding and profoundly prescient debut that follows a cast of intricately linked characters over hundreds of years as humanity struggles to rebuild itself in the aftermath of a climate plague—a daring and deeply heartfelt work of...

New Delhi, Feb 1 (Ians) In another bid to boost domestic manufacturing, the government on Monday announced an increase in custom duty for up to 10 per cent on mobile chargers and some sub-parts of phones, a move that can make handsets costlier by 3-4 per cent from February 2.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, during her Union Budget 2021-22 speech, said that withdrawing exemptions on parts of chargers and mobile phones will boost local manufacturing of smartphones.
"Domestic electronic manufacturing has grown rapidly. We are now exporting items like mobiles and chargers," Sitharaman said.
"For greater domestic value addition, we are withdrawing a few exemptions on parts of chargers and sub-parts of mobiles. Further, some parts of mobiles will move from 'nil' rate to a moderate 2.5 per cent," she informed.
However, inputs or raw material for manufacture of specified parts like back cover, side keys etc. of cellular mobile phone has been increased from 'nil' to 10 per cent.
